Living in Vancouver
Vancouver, a coastal city in Canada, ranks among the most liveable cities in the world. Let's meet three
residents to learn why they love this city.
A. Gina (20 years old)
I fell in love with Vancouver's natural habitats. I can go hiking in the summer and snowboarding in the
winter in the mountains. Sometimes I pack my favourite foods and go to Kitsilano Beach to get a bit of
sunshine I like swimming in the Kitsilano pool, which is the longest outdoor swimming pool in North

America.
B Olivia (30 years old)

Life in Vancouver Is convenient. The food here is good. There are both great restaurants and food
trucks. Farmers' markets offer a wide range of fresh produce. When I'm too busy to cook, I pick up
prepared meals in the supermarket.
C. Hoai (35 years old)

This is such a kid-friendly place. The whole city is like an adventure playground. There are hundreds of
activities to entertain children. At weekends, I take my daughters to the mind-blowing museum, explore
a rainforest, or play outdoor games with them. Vancouver is a perfect place for family life.
Who...?

2. praises Vancouver for being perfect for her family to live in
3. describes the Vancouver's nature
4. compliments Vancouver on its convenience

5. loves outdoor activities
6. Ilves in Vancouver with her children
III. Read the passage and do the exercises.

Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but nowadays many people are reluctant
to make such a move. They say that compared to suburban areas, city life has many drawbacks.

The high cost of living is the first disadvantage. The bigger the city is, the higher the living cost is.
Accommodation and petrol are expensive. Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city people
seem to suffer from more noise and air pollution. The densely populated neighbourhoods, busy traffic,
and big construction sites make cities noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people's health, such as
increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them suffer from breathing problems.

Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in the city, so people tend to live in
smaller houses or in apartment blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities; therefore,
teenagers often hang out at shopping malls or in entertainment complexes instead of doing sports
outdoors.

The cities' authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However, they still have a long way to go
before they can reduce living costs and pollution, and increase green space to make all cities in the
world more liveable places.
a. Choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.
1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The reasons for moving to the suburbs.

B. The disadvantages of city life

C The high cost of living in cities.
D. The causes of pollution in cities.
2. Why does the author mention "accommodation, petrol, food, and drinks" in paragraph 2?

A. To give examples of high living costs.
B. To explain how convenient city life is.

C To describe what city people often lack.
D. To suggest city people save money.
3. What does the word "them” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. bad effects

B. stress levels

C. city people

D. construction sites
